#65. Dress Codes


Do private businesses have the right to decide who frequents their establishment? In Black Run America, the notion of private businesses serving customers at their discretion is not allowed, as all companies hoping to maintain positive standing with the government are coerced into conducting business with patrons of every race.

However, Black people are painfully aware that special rules exist that circumvent the law of forced association mandated by legislation that work to include Black patrons where they might not be welcome.

Notoriously, night clubs and bars throughout the United States utilize the clandestine methodology of barring Black people from patronizing their establishment through the elaborate usage of dress codes to deny entry to those who fail to uphold the standards of proper accoutrement's as prescribed by the owners.

Black people are known to have a unique sense of fashion, primarily wearing pants that routinely are on the ground instead of their waist. Owners of bars and restaurants are in the business of turning a profit and these proprietors are painfully aware of the track record that exists of Black nightclubs and bars that routinely are profiled on local nightly news channels for unsavory accomplishments.

Clubs and restaurants across America, forbidden by the government to practice discriminatory policies of denying patrons by the color of their skin instead deny entry to potential customers based on the clothes that adorn their bodies.

Kansas City - recently the home of Flash Mobs - has an area of town popular for the nightlife offered there that strangely imposes rules that seemed targeted toward barring Black people in a fashion completely legal:

Cordish instituted a dress code in June 2008 that has been called racist by critics. The dress code includes a ban on bandanas, work boots, ripped or baggy clothing, shorts that fall below the knees, athletic jerseys, and chains.[City Hall questioned the Cordish company about the dress code, noting that the dress code seemed targeted towards black males and was inconsistently enforced.

Councilwoman Melba Curls said her son was turned away from the district, while Counselwoman Beth Gottstein stated that "the message I keep getting is that Cordish is only available to some." David Cordish stated that the company was merely attempting to reduce gang related activity.[21] Critics further accused Cordish of exhibiting racial bias when after DJ Jazzy Jeff left the stage early during a performance.
It has long since been established that Black people do not like belts. Many restaurants and bars have enacted dress codes that deny entry to people who wear baggy pants, which seem to target Black people excessively for their propensity for finding belts unbecoming is legendary.

Cornrows, a popular hairstyle found uniquely found in the Black community, seems to be unpopular to owners of bars and restaurants who find this style of hair a potential harbinger of trouble to their place of business.

Dress codes, you see, are primarily a ruse conducted by business owners who wish to return to the days when freedom of association was a right awarded to everyone, even those who own popular restaurants and bars.

Refusing to serve someone based on the color of their skin might seem archaic and nefarious, but the freedom of an owner to serve customers was a right guaranteed once in the free market. Simply instituting policies such as a dress code act as a modern-day Governor George Wallace standing in the door keeping Black people out of enjoying the fun inside the bar:

Mother's, a popular night club in Chicago, appears to be reinstating Jim Crow laws as they recently barred entry to six African-American patrons. The six students were part of a senior class trip of 200 students from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri and had made plans to visit the establishment. Upon trying to entering the venue, the Black students were denied entry and were told it was because their pants were too baggy.

Not believing the hype, a white student switched pants with one of his classmates and tried the entry process again. Lo and behold, the white student was still allowed in while the Black student was left outside.

The situation in Chicago is not to be outdone by the one brewing in Kansas City, where a forum was recently held to discuss the validity of dress codes and find out, once and for all, if they exist to deny Black people entry to private restaurants denied the right by law to deny an individual entry based on their race:
At a forum entitled, “Is it your Clothes or your Color?”, sponsored by the Human Rights Commission of Kansas City, Missouri a panel of experts, academics, civil right activists and business owners were brought together to discuss the use of dress codes in the city.

The issue of whether or not dress codes were being used as a tool of racism became front page news a couple years ago when people of color, mostly African American men, began reporting problems with their enforcement at the Power and Light entertainment district Downtown.

Several complaints were made to the Human Rights Commission, which then took several steps to investigate violations of the Public Accommodations Law, initiated its own testing and worked with the management of Power and Light to make changes to the code.

Held at the Bruce R. Watkins Center, some panelists used their time to explain their experiences with dress codes around the city, while others discussed the social and legal implications of dress codes and their effectiveness. Members of the community also were given time to express their feelings about the issue and offer anecdotal information regarding the legacy of racism in Kansas City entertainment areas, including Westport and the Plaza.

Moderated by Daniel Weddle, Clinical Professor at the UMKC Law School, the issue of dress codes aimed at particular sections of the community—particularly people of color---came sharply into focus.

Nia Webster, organizer for Power and Lights Out (PLO) said her organization wasn’t against businesses establishing dress codes but want to help people understand about racial discrimination and how to properly report and respond to those incidents.

“Dress code should not be created to discriminate,” said Webster. “Dress is a perception. A person in a suit isn’t any different than someone with a white shirt and jeans. People who are troublemakers are troublemakers.”

Webster said her organization did a survey and that “90 percent knew someone who had been discriminated against.”

Anthony Burnside, a security specialist and consultant, who was Deputy Sheriff and former nightclub bouncer, said a business “had a right to have any dress code the want”.

“It should be posted on their website instead of people being surprised when they get there and are turned away,” said Burnside. “The point is to make money and have a good time.”

Burnside said when he worked as a bouncer in Westport the management let it be known what type of crowd they wanted; “Mix 93”, a local radio station that has a younger, white demographic.

Dr. Clovis Semmes, author and professor of Black Studies and Sociology at UMKC, said the phenomenon of dress codes is occurring nationally and its history was being written in places like Kansas City.

“They (dress codes) may be emerging as a proxy for racial discrimination,” said Dr. Semmes. “It’s a form of market regulation of prime commercial space.”

Dr. Semmes stated that factors like dress, musical selection and demographic targeting were raising many issues “regarding the physco-social perception of young black men” in “prime commercial areas”.

“If you played heavy metal music or country music you probably won’t see a lot of black people,” added Dr. Semmes. “If you have hip-hop or R&B, which has white fans as well, they don’t want to replace a young white demographic with a black demographic.”

Dr. Semmes went on to mention that sociological studies from the 1960s and 70s pointed to problems with how blacks where perceived by whites.

“In every case, black men were seen as more aggressive,” said Dr. Semmes of the studies where whites compared blacks--acting in the exact same manner as their white counterparts. “It only takes 30 percent of an audience for whites to perceive that blacks are in the majority.”

Dr. Semmes said that in “geographical context” dress codes were an issue of “dealing with corporations regulating markets in prime commercial real estate,” and were rare in “areas that are not prime commercial space.”

Andrea Shelby-Bartee, owner and manger of BodyWorks Phase II nightclub at 84th and Troost said her establishment has used a dress code for years in order to “create a clean, safe atmosphere for everyone to have a good time.”

Bartee added that her establishment was targeting to be “an upscale type of venue” but didn’t feel the dress code discriminated against anyone because of race or ethnicity.

This problem of dress codes isn't geographically isolated in the mid-western states, but affects nearly every state where Black people reside and wish to enjoy a beverage:

On a blustery Saturday night, the usual line of 20-somethings was missing from in front of Peabody's, the Virginia Beach club.

Instead, small knots of people approached the doorman waiting outside on a stool.

When a young white guy accompanied by two women walked up, the doorman looked at him and his black football jersey, jeans and sneakers. He was rejected.

"This is the fifth place I've been turned away from tonight!" he told his friends.

It's common knowledge among clubgoers that Peabody's has a tight dress code.

Some people have speculated that the policy there and at many other clubs might be a subtle ways of discriminating against black people. Club owners, however, say the dress codes weed out patrons who might cause trouble and, in turn, harm their customers and their business.

White patrons say they're often turned away, too, and some black patrons agree with the policies.

"Our policies keep people safe, and it has worked for eight or nine years," said Brandon Ramsey, one of Peabody's operating partners. "People can take that the wrong way. But Peabody's is a mixed crowd. We work hard so people can come here and have a good time."

The irony is that across Hampton Roads, the music thumping inside clubs is often hip-hop, which dominates the charts and lures large crowds to dance, yet club owners set up dress codes that target the "hip-hop look " - the baggy clothes, work boots, 'do rags and other markings.

Ba Da Bing, another Oceanfront night club, looked considerably different than Peabody's from the outside. That night, the patrons were exclusively black, and the people in line had a style that swayed toward roomy pants, boots and camouflage. A security guard, however, said they also don't allow 'do rags, jerseys, gang-related beads, white T-shirts, flags or bandanas.

Ba Da Bing has a reputation for fights.

"A lot of clubs in Virginia Beach make dress codes to keep us out," said James Tamry, 25, a black Norfolk resident who was hanging outside Ba Da Bing on Saturday. He wore a striped Enyce polo shirt and jeans. "We dress a certain way."

At the same time, he said, he understands. "You have a lot of the younger guys, 18 to 21, that come out just to prove how tough they are."

Tamry, who is in the Navy, said clubs "are trying to keep the peace. But to me, something can happen anywhere."

Indeed. Norfolk police spokesman Chris Amos said a suspect was taken into custody last weekend after a knife fight in the Waterside parking garage, ostensibly after leaving one of the mall's very non hip-hop bar-restaurants.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia filed a discrimination complaint last week against Kokoamos, a bar and grill in Virginia Beach. The ACLU said the club's practice of banning cornrows and dreadlocks was discriminatory and potentially a violation of federal law.

Kevin Martingayle, a Virginia Beach lawyer whose practice areas include civil rights, said clubs are free to discriminate but not on the basis of race, gender or disability. Any place, therefore, that conducts business transactions with the public is within its rights to bar people with baggy jeans, because nearly anyone can wear big pants. But banning blond hair, for example, would discriminate on a different basis that might violate federal law.

Kokoamos' owner Barry Davis said the hip-hop look creates an atmosphere in which violence is more likely to break out. Hair aside, other club owners more or less shared that sentiment.

"It's more a young thing," said Terry Webb, who runs Reign in Norfolk, a trendy spot favored among upscale hip-hoppers. "How many women do you know who work at a Fortune 500 company that would talk to a man in a white T-shirt? At a certain age, it has to stop. No grown man should be going out in a jersey unless he's going to a sporting event."

Why is this trend of dress codes mandated by business owners appearing in virtually every city in America and why do they seem to target the habits of dress primarily associated with Black people?

We know that Black people do not like tipping, so perhaps it is an economic issue. Patrons of bars and restaurants normally tip a waiter or bar tender based upon their service, but Black people are known to refrain from parting with money in a voluntary manner for services rendered.

Or, perhaps it is due to the high-levels of violence that follow Black people at nightclubs throughout America. Bar owners are working to make a profit and develop of reputation of providing a fun, safe environment for patrons to enjoy a good time replete with shots of alcohol and removed from shots that come from guns.

Like the William Gates Foundation Scholarship which is only available to minority students, dress codes seem targeted only at minorities. Private businesses and corporations are mandated by law to serve every patron, regardless of race, yet few people question the rights of a private charity to grant scholarships solely by race, excluding all white people.

If one is morally wrong, shouldn't the other be as well?

Dress codes exist in nearly every city, an attempt by business owners to proactively engage troublemakers by keeping them out of their establishment and they target only Black people in the process.

Business owners risk lawsuits and horrible publicity to implement such dress codes. Perhaps, after failing to enact the three rules set forth by Dalton in the film Road House on how to properly run a bar, business owners realized they would rather face financial ruination by social ostracism than allow Black people to grace their businesses.

ZZ Top said every girl loves a sharp dressed man. Business owners say - through the advent of dress codes - that everyone still doesn't like Black people in their establishment, regardless of the publicity that accompanies any attempt to implement a dress code.

Stuff Black People Don't Like includes dress codes, for utilizing such draconian methods to bar Black people from frequenting a place of business should have been relegated to the bad old days of Jim Crow.

Yet, if forced diversity is so great and freedom of association such an outdated method of conducting of business, why do restaurants and bars across the United States continue to risk closing by having dress codes?

Even the NBA - a league that is 80 percent Black - instituted a dress code for its players. Bars, restaurants and the NBA all have the commonality of dress codes to Black people's chagrin.

You misspelled "waist".

With regards to restaurants and businesses open during the day, many downtown areas have discovered that playing classical music over the PA will drive away the thuggish Negro element. The only blacks who will remain will be your more tolerable, token Al Roker and Bryant Gumbel types. After a few strains of Vivaldi or Mahler, your average young black man might literally melt as he struggles to understand the non-verbal music that lacks a beat or bass. His usual response, as he furrows his simian brow, will be something along the lines of "Wha da fugh is dis?" before he shuffles off in confusion.

On the serious note, I used to live in Germany, and most clubs tended to openly bar Turks from entering their establishments, because they were known for knife play. Many's the time my Mexican or Puerto Rican friends could not get through the door, because they looked Turkish. At other times, American servicemen were banned from entering because they also demonstrated a propensity for violence. On those nights, I didn't take it personally, and I recognized the logic of the club owners. Someone else had screwed it up for me.

If you're black and you find yourself being turned away (or avoided in general) don't take it personally. Some thugnificent screwed it up for you.

This is my favorite post here in quite some time.

I had the misfortune of visiting Virginia Beach this spring with a couple of black friends, who made sure to point out the racist club Peabody's. Instead, we went to an 'upscale' club, where would-be patrons simply stepped over the outdoor guardrails to get in.

I think Virginia Beach is a prime location for where the initial race riots might start. Life seems cheap there.

not shoots but shots. Unless you meant it that way. Could be a play on words. Daddy might have missed that.


Blacks dress how they speak, and how they act. It is all one big thuggish combination. Ofcourse you want to keep them out of your place. That is just common sense. Blacks bring violence and anti social behavior. Whites do not.


I love those videos of gorillas eating their shit or wacking off at the zoo. That is fun to watch. But I don't want them in my club or bar doing it.

+1 on Hirsch's comment about classical music. My wife and I went to the Symphony for the first time recently. A client of hers plays there and he presented her with two complimentary tickets. I did not want to go, but being a dutiful husband who did not want to piss off the missus, I feigned cheer and went to Symphony! And, thank the Lord, I was rewarded handsomely. Three thousand people were in the audience and I only saw one black. The crowd was, as you would expect, very courteous. No cell phones, pagers, or camera flashes were in evidence. Clothing was nice, worn properly, and clean. There was no talking during the performance. No one got up and walked across people's feet during the performance. When a selection was completely finished, there was enthusiastic clapping. No whistling, yelling, or fist pumping. In short, it was probably similar to being in a movie theater 50 years ago. I must say, I will go to the symphony again. It was a pleasure to see classic good behavior and manners by so many people in a public venue.
I suspect that Classical music is like Kryptonite to black people.

SBPDL,

"However, Black people are painfully aware that special rules exist that circumvent the law of forced association mandated by legislation that work to include Black patrons where they might not be welcome."

I love this quote because it gets right to the true point of the entire post. Black people insisting on patronizing establishments where they are not "welcomed". Many predominately black bars and clubs have similar dress codes that are in place primarily to keep away the younger clientele. When you go the extra mile it means something else, we all know it.

Lets keep this idea of "forced association" in its proper context. Jim Crow laws were just that laws, created by and enforced by the state, federal, and local government. It wasn't the good white folks of the south expressing freedom of choice, it was the government telling the people what to do with their business and even their personal lives.

" Like the William Gates Foundation Scholarship which is only available to minority students, dress codes seem targeted only at minorities. Private businesses and corporations are mandated by law to serve every patron, regardless of race, yet few people question the rights of a private charity to grant scholarships solely by race, excluding all white people."

A white dude discriminating against white people ,I guess stranger things have happened. I looked around and I couldn't find any other examples of anything similar. Please don't use the United Negro College Fund as an example, because those scholarships are for any student that attends a UNCF school. It drives me crazy when people say that. There are many private donors that discriminate all the time. The Rotary club, VFW, Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy, Future Farmers of America, Religious groups, etc. So when a private donor decides to give money to only veterans is this discrimination against non veterans? What about all of the scholarships given only to certain academic majors excluding all others. Is that discrimination? I will agree with you that Bill Gates actions are a bit extreme, but not a valid example to be used in this case.


"We know that Black people do not like tipping, so perhaps it is an economic issue. Patrons of bars and restaurants normally tip a waiter or bar tender based upon their service, but Black people are known to refrain from parting with money in a voluntary manner for services rendered."

I have no idea what this opinion is rooted in and it can't be racism since that was killed by the election of Barry the half breed. This is BRA, at least until 2012. There are two groups that are notoriously bad tippers. The elderly and young hot chicks of all races. I understand when it comes to people or groups you don't care for the exception makes the rule, always. Nine out of ten black patrons leave a good tip you will for some "unknown" focus on the one that didn't leave a tip. The gaggle of "cute" twenty something white gals that left the wait staff and the bartender high and dry go unnoticed.


Since Bar owners and managers are very much aware of the fact that one over the top incident can jeopardize their liquor license and the very survival of their business, crime and violence is for the most part kept in check at all bars and clubs regardless of the racial of ethnic make up of their patrons. Everyone knows that when dress codes that are common across the board become a little too specific like baring how the same type clothing is worn something else is going on.

Don't worry most people follow the unwritten rules of race relations and stick to bars and clubs patronized by their own kind.

Since my style of dress is more like Barry the half breed than Snoop Dogg or Lil Wayne the stated rules of the dress code wouldn't apply to me or most of my friends and family. I understand the unwritten rules all to well, and I chose to stay as far away as possible.

You must work for the CIA, because how else could you scan a crowd of three thousand and spot the only black person in attendance. You said black so I guess the lab results will tell age and sex. Please get back to me on that one. I don't about your life, but why would anyone be shocked that the Symphony crowd wouldn't be like the crowd at a concert or movie theater? You don't see camera flashes at a concert , so why would you see them at a Symphony?. Who still has a pager in 2010? How can you personally comment on everyone's clothing? Unless this whole wife thing is some fantasy and you were working the door.

As for the talking, I guess this goes back to this CIA technology that you seem to have access to. The only other option is these three thousand individuals were all sitting next to you. Whistling, yelling , and fist pumping? Wow! It's the Symphony, not Die Hard 3

I had a girlfriend that listened to classical music all the time. I also enjoy classical music. Unlike Superman it didn't take away my powers, turn me evil, or kill me. Kryptonite? probably not. I bet your personality or lack there of would be more effective.

Back in the mid-80s (yes I'm OLD), I bounced at an immensely popular local night club. The DJ was a European "new wave" dude, who played a broad mix of music styles, the crowd was about 95% white. We had occasional fights, but nothing serious, and we had NO COVER CHARGE.
At some point in time, the DJ left for a better paying gig, and we hired a well-known local black DJ. The guy was REALLY GOOD...BUT...he played exclusively black music, and because of his popularity, we started getting increasingly black crowds. As the crowd got darker, sales decreased, tips ebbed, and fights became more frequent.
To compensate for lost sales, we instituted a ONE DOLLAR cover charge.
(In case you missed that...the cover charge was ONE DOLLAR.)
As I stood at the door collecting dollar bills, I was literally astounded by the number of black people who were shocked by the new entry fee, and would state defiantly "I DIDN'T BRING ANY MONEY!). They were actually angry about the ONE DOLLAR charge.

It didn't matter. As blacks packed in the club to dance and have a good time FOR FREE, whites went elsewhere, and it was just a matter of time before we went out of business. Another hugely successful enterprise driven out of business by blacks.

My husband and I go to the Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon every year. It's a complete pleasure despite the very liberal Festival's ceaseless efforts at "outreach". The handful of black patrons are mostly the relatives of some of the actors. I've seen a total of two police officers in the ten years we've been going. It's the one place you can watch a performance containing scenes of battle, incest, murder, jealousy and rage and not have one audience member get into a slugfest at intermission....

Classical music, to almost all urban-dwellers (not just AAs) is "boring." This commentary comes from a people whose favourite music has literally no dynamics of any kind throughout an entire song(?), never mind across the whole genre of hip-hop. As if hearing their music isn't bad enough, seeing it on TV is enough to bring about a gag reflex in me...

Phalluster...very interesting you mention Virginia Beach as being a place where race riots could break out. I have an interesting story about that city.

When I was 5, my family drove there for vacation. However, this was during the 1989 "Greekfest" riot over Labor Day weekend. The police basically told us to leave as we were entering the city. We then drove to Myrtle Beach, where we ended up moving 4 years later.

So yes, in effect your theory has already played out in real life.

See, Black guy is a decent black for the most part. He comes off as clean and articulate. He is well spoken if a little misguided at times. You can still see the blackness in him, but it is not so overwhelming.

Some might call him an uncle Tom. I just call him Don Cheadle. Don with his white name, is very good in hotel Rawanda. While the blacks all around him are murdering and raping, he acts white. Ofcourse there is a scene where Nick Nolte's character talks about whites abandoning Don's character. The typical liberal spin. Apparently it is the white man's job to stop blacks from killing each other. But still a good movie, about a decent, white acting black man, who saves refugees from being killed by other thuggish blacks. Hudoos, Tutus, poo poos, it didn't matter, he saved them all. Ofcourse, with the help of his white boss and the white U.N. guy.

A really beautiful movie, if you ignore the minor jab at white people. Blacks killing blacks, they had to say something negative about whites to appease.

Black guy is fun to read at times, if you ignore the minor jab at whites. He knows the realities of life, but doesn't want to be seen as too uncle Tommish. Where as Desiree was once a normal white acting black, who became enlightened ,and has become Malcolm X on crack. Tho Malcolm X was more intelligent. And thankfully he is dead.

And there you have the strange case of the differing blackness.

p.s. I also thought that the guy who played candy man was a decent acting black guy.

Black Guy, if you are perplexed by the "blacks don't tip" rule, then either you are delusional, or you live on Mars. (BTW, I do not doubt that this rule does not apply to you.) In my 30 years in the service industry, the rule of blacks not tipping is common knowledge, and always has been.

The 14th amendment had nothing to do with discrimination. The fact that women(white) were denied the vote until the 1020's and about 100 years of LEGAL discrimination of black Americans followed this amendment prove that to incorrect.

I can't think of a scenario that would place me in venue with three thousand white people, and since I have friends I wouldn't be the only black. Also since I usually focus primarily on the event and the people I 'm out with, not much time to devote to scanning the crowd for the racial breakdown.

When my spy equipment arrives I'll be able to give more accurate reports.

Likewise, I can not think of an actual situation in which I was the lone white person in a crowd of three thousand blacks...however, since the question was hypothetical, it doesn't require the prerequisite of "actuality", it only requires one to make an educated guess.

Personally, I have no doubt whatsoever that IF through some bizarre circumstances I was to find myself in the highly unlikely situation where I was the only white person in a crowd of three thousand blacks...that I would be quite certain (within a margin of error of 1 to 2) that I was the only white person present.

You're a bright guy, you must know that your non-response makes you look like a coward.

See, this scence makes it look like all the whites get to go bye bye, and the blacks could not. But, the whites were not from that country. If there had been blacks there from say, America, then they would have been evacuated also. The blacks staying were from that country. If there were whites from that country, they would have had to stay also. Had nothing to do with race. It was about countries looking out for their own people's interests.

Notice that Nolte's character is a canadian, and they love to have white guilt. They are socialist and do not allow free speech, as Ezra Levant knows all too well. So white liberal guilt is a given really. Nolte's character even wants for Don's character to spit in his face. LOL, there is that white self loathing that we all just lvoe so much. Even tho Nolte's character is white, and he is doing all that he possibly can to save blacks who are not from Canada, he thinks that the black guy should spit on him. Typical really. That's just funny. His white guilt makes him want to be punished by the black guy, even tho he did nothing wrong. Wow, and this was in the early 90's. Ofcourse the 90's was a wear malcolm x, african symbols, black pride bonanza, especially after the whole King and riot ordeals. Must be a thing for black men named King setting off bullshit reactions from blacks.

You have clearly never worked in the hospitality industry. Everybody and I mean EVERYBODY who works in bars and restaurants knows that blacks as a general rule don't properly tip - if they even bother to tip at all. Even the blacks in the industry know this. It's one of those "hate facts." Everyone who doesn't have his head in his ass knows it to be true, but somehow it's considered rude to publicly point out certain obvious truths.

*You* might be an exception, black guy. Maybe you leave an appropriate tip of 15% or 20% of the pre-tax bill. There are always exceptions.

In fact, there's a joke going around the hospitality industry these days.

Q: Next time you go paddling out on a river, know how to keep your canoe from tipping?

White and proud. Don't like it? Then the two words are not "Merry Christmas."

Dress codes just another example of a long list of social racism or is it industrial racism or undercover racism. Oh well you can add;
* Being on time
* Proper English
* Respecting noise ordinances (Theaters included)

If you want to see a powerful video check out these disturbing links (nothing gratuitous)

The end of Rhodesia

What it has become. The audio is poor especially if your not used to the accent.

A little off topic but fits well with Rwanda.

We are watching the same thing happening in South Africa and bit by bit America as well.

Another Jew [Kissinger] played the key role in destroying Rhodesia. It's no accident that the White nations of the world are being flooded with hostile non-white immigration; it's been planned that way.

Here's a well-done video dealing with South Africa.

I worked the door at a club for about a year, and we had a dress code. The main thing that caused problems was the "no 'do rags, no shirts that hang past the pant pocket".

We didn't turn people away, they just had to take the 'do rag off or tuck their shirt in. Most black folks that were asked to do so, did. Until they got past the bouncers and to the dance floor. Then they would untuck their shirts that hung down to their knees.

Of course, our bouncers would then tell them they had to leave for violating the dress code they were told about when they entered. Without fail they would get a response of "this is because i'm black!" and very often a fight would ensue.

The statement "this is because i'm black" could mean several things when i look back on it. Does it mean that he can't obey rules because he's black? Or that our dress code singled out his style of dress? Take it how you want, all I know is it that every time a black guy walked past me into the club, I knew it was a potential fight waiting to happen.

In an unrelated note, I made the mistake of going to wal-mart on the first of the month. I was behind a black man and two black women with about two cartloads of groceries. They had one already scanned in, and I could see them going through several forms of payment. The conveyer was full of their groceries still, and they just walked off with what had been bagged already.

The cashier came around and started loading the groceries from the conveyer back into a cart. I started helping her and asked what happened. She told me they were on welfare and ran out of food stamps/money. I'm glad I didn't know that prior to them leaving, because I'd be in jail right now. Heaven forbid the ungrateful wretches plan ahead when they start loading up carts, or even help put things away when they realize they don't have enough. While I'm sure white folks do this sort of thing as well, it didn't improve my view of welfare leeches.

Really? Dress codes? You couldn't have made that at least a little bit funny?

You people are racist. Plain and simple. You try to hide it behind educated responses, but you may as well just admit it because it's damn near obvious.
Black people ARE generally ornery, if not downright angry. And why not, they have every reason to be. Their natural lifestyles were stolen away from them a long time ago, and their peoples lives changed forever. They were forced to adapt to a new world, thrown into it with no instructions. Simply left to their own devices.
Blacks have since then, and forever will be surrounded by people who hate them, profile every move they make, and overall decide they are just plain not worth shit.

How about this: lets take all you people, throw you into a confusing new world that is already headed to hell in a hand-basket, surround you by natives who hate you indefinitely (seemingly infinitely), and see how things work out.

Black people don't need handouts(although the lazy government has been trying to make this the acceptable way to deal with their kind). They simply need a chance. Stop hating what you don't understand.
You brought them here as slaves, now they are here to stay, and you cant help but hate and complain. You brought this upon yourself and upon them as well, so how dare you blame them...

This post has officially pissed me off. And your comments are just unbelievable. You try to make blacks your scapegoat, but you made them the way they are.

As for the comments about "blacks killing blacks", the same thing happens between white people, its just never looked at from a racial point of view. White people kill white people all the time. War is common, and can be expected of any people who are internally diverse with hate, greed, selfishness, vanity, and pride (and let us not forget the increasingly more common perversion).

The ways of PEOPLE (especially in today's society) in general are disgusting. You can't just single out BLACK PEOPLE.

Why don't we just talk about the fact that white people are most likely to engage in pedophilia and violent crimes against children and spouses than any other race. Seriously, lets talk about that... I don't like this fact either, but how does it feel to be singled out and generalized, you perverted animals.

Black people have amazing sex with each-other; white people have boring sex with each-other, and decide that the best way to get off is to travel to a foreign country and pay cash to have sex with children. Have fun trying to explain that one to yourself...

How is it that you hate blacks so very much, but you happily spend your vacation time traveling to Africa just so you can have sex with their babies?
